Lumineux Sapphire Rose

Lana was never going to be a show dog but that was fine with her, she and her brother & best friend Storm were much happier being at home enjoying each others company and guarding the place from foxes. Like most Belgians they loved the water and when they were younger we used to take them swimming in the river, which they just loved.

In December of 1999 Lana had a grass seed that had lodged in her lung, (probably inhaled) which became infected. Complications included swelling of the limbs Hypertrophic Osteopathy (HO) - after an operation to remove the grass seed and part of her lung she made a full recovery. We are very gratefull to Mark Foley, Monash Vet Clinic

After the loss of her brother and best friend Storm in 2005, we were concerned that Lana would fret, but she coped very well.

The last few years Lana has slowed down quite a bit, she has a fair bit of arthritis (especially in her left front leg), fortunately the warmer weather has helped her to move around a bit more, but she spends most of her day resting in my bedroom.

Creation

When God had made the earth and sky,
the flowers and the trees,
He then made all the animals
the fish, the birds and bees
And when at last He'd finished
not one was quite the same.
He said I'll walk this world of mine
and give each one a name.
And so He traveled far and wide
and everywhere He went,
a little creature followed Him
until its strength was spent.
When all were named upon the earth
and in the Sky and Sea,
the little creature said "Dear Lord,
there's no name left for me."
Kindly the Father said to him
"I've left you to the end.
I've turned my own name back to front
And called you DOG, my friend".
